Indeed it does, comes from the 787. The 787 doesn't have double-blinking strobes: https://youtu.be/H5YwQHJ8KLE?t=129 I think sure he is talking about the strobe lights on the tailcone, which the 787 does have. Well they are LED now so I guess technically not strobe lights. I was referring to the wi...

Everyone at WN is trained and the a/c is flying without restrictions system-wide (there may be a few airports not permitting the MAX however - BUR?). MAX has definitely visited BUR already. https://youtu.be/X2GTZAh--L8 Good to see. I heard initially that it may not be going through BUR for some rea...

https://www.simbrief.com/home/ It is a virtual flight planner for flight simulating. I use it as well and have always left the fuel factor at P0 (since I'm not sure what it does). Anyway, the fuel load it gives me, for the pmdg 737 has always been good. I'll fuel up with what the release gives me an...

They are still rumbling in and out of MKE to DFW. I checked two random dates in Oct and Nov and they are still showing listed on their site for flights to/from DFW. Not sure if that will change before then though

Is trex8 correct about the 10 across? My first SY flight was DC-10 LAS-MSP, and my hazy recollection was a 2-5-2, but then again, it was Vegas...... ;) Oh wow!!! That is going to require some digging in my brain!! I am pretty sure it was 2, 5, 2. Of course I worked for United later in life, and spe...

Guys is it me or is the 777-300ER a real struggler for high altitude cruising? Isn't it's service ceiling 43,000 ft? Yet on long haul trips I barely see it go above 35,000 feet even on low fuel! I mean even the 747-400 cruises higher and it's 30 years old! A B744 usually cruises at what, FL360, FL3...

Just curious...if it is due to high temps how is the stop explained to passengers who likely wouldn't understand the engine performance limitations? Does the pilot try to explain or is this something relayed by the gate agent prior to boarding

Not sure the exact reasoning for it being there, but it looks like it came in Monday night from <acronym title="Dallas - Love Field (DAL / KDAL), USA - Texas">DAL</acronym> <a href="http://flightaware.com/live/flight/EAL4980/history/20160517/0220Z/KDAL/KGEG" target="_blank">http://flightaware.com/li...

Was wondering when an airplane is container loaded, is the tare weight of the container figured into the payload weight? For example, if it says an aircraft can carry 110,000lbs payload, does this include the empty container weight?
Thanks,

I know the lifespan of <acronym title="Saint Petersburg (Leningrad) - Pulkovo (LED / ULLI), Russia">LED</acronym>'s is a lot longer than conventional strobes, but IMO I don't think they catch the eye nearly as much as the traditional strobe lights. Is there any way that <acronym title="Saint Petersb...

I usually go to this parking lot off scott street. It's on a dead end (at least the last time I was there). It is a good spot to watch landings on the 28's when they are in a westerly flow. <a href="http://www.google.com/maps/@41.9673912,-87.8761744,155m/data=!3m1!1e3" target="_blank">http://www.goo...

Curious about this flights diversion. I notice thunderstorms moving into the DC area, but why go back to <acronym title="Chicago - O'Hare International (Orchard Field) (ORD / KORD), USA - Illinois">ORD</acronym> where there is massive delays due to snow/ice? <a href="http://flightaware.com/live/flig...

Can't believe how big <acronym title="OLD: Denver - Stapleton International (DEN / KDEN) (closed), USA - Colorado AND CURRENT: Denver - International (DEN / KDEN), USA - Colorado">DEN</acronym> is after only starting there in 2006. I know Stapleton was served for a while in the 80's. Does anyone kno...

Hi All, I finally purchased a new computer yesterday from jet line systems. I know I could do it for cheaper, but really don't have the time or know how to build my own system. The computer I got comes with prepar3d v2 preloaded on it. I will probably upgrade to v3 at some point. I have a couple of ...

MKE has runway 31/13 at 5535ft. It is used in only extreme northwest or southeast winds.But even under those rare conditions I've only seen it used a couple of times. Oh and there was that one time a learjet slid off the runway right at the intersection of 19R/25L forcing everyone to use that runway...

In July 1990 I took my first flight as a trip to Disney World.
